First of all, we were curious about what inspired Antonio to the world of photography and what drew him to travel to places like Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico. He responded: “I began my journey into the world of photojournalism when I moved to London in 2013. I started capturing the lifestyle of the squats community, punks, and anarchists. Subsequently, I decided to enhance my professional skills and moved to Barcelona to pursue a course in photo documentary. Whilst in Barcelona, I was part of an activist photographers’ collective, documenting the social struggles across Europe and showcasing my photos in independent media outlets in Catalonia and Italy. However, it wasn’t until I immersed myself in Latin America that a profound transformation occurred in both my life and my approach to photography.” “My most compelling and challenging story took place in the La Guajira desertic region in the north of Colombia. It centered around the Wayuu Indigenous children living in dire conditions and passing away due to a lack of water and food. I capture this story through my photos after immersing myself in their community for nearly a month, sharing their daily life, and truly understanding their struggles. This story was published by The Guardian. The article was written by my partner, Natalia Torres Garzón, with whom I shared the experience in La Guajira, and these pictures have been awarded at the Paris Photo Prize in the “State of the World” competition,” shared photojournalist. He wrote: “I hope that people can understand and empathize with the issues I aim to convey through my photos and ultimately learn from them.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
